What's up everyone, would yall recommend splicing the headlight socket? Driver side light bulb has burnt out for the second time already and Im 100% this is the reason why. Or can I just replace the headlight harness? I've watched a couple videos and I wanna know if anyone has had the same issue and what you did to fix it! Thanks in advance. 584.jpg

Sure, I’d get a new replacement socket and splice it by soldering the pigtail…not crimp-connectors. I’d also use some di-electric grease in the socket to prevent that from reoccurring.

Replace, but use waterproof splices, or solder and heat shrink.
